In other words, having a restricted ATP in your case means nothing when it comes to upgrading because it will require 1,000 additional hours at a regional.

Ok. Got that. But then you still need the minimums though to be hired as a FO/SIC, i.e., 200 hours x-country; 100 hours night flight; etc. Or does that not matter, and will get those minimums as a FO/SIC? That's the part I'm still not plain on.

You need the mins to get hired. You can't build the time as an SIC. Lol.

This is correct. You'll get the rest of the 300 hours of cross country while flying at a regional and you'll be able to get the unrestricted ATP before you are captain.

Doesn't he need 500 hours of XC time since he has not done his training at a part 141 program? He would need to get an unrestricted ATP which would require the 1500 TT and 500 hours XC...

Yeah, that's huge because if you are just CFIing to build hours, getting 500 x-country is harder than you think.
